It's not something you're likely to have lying about the house; they generally use oxalate esters of substituted phenols (like bis-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate) and hydrogen peroxide (not the 3% stuff you buy at the drugstore) along with a fluorescent dye (the dye used determines the color).
